Gantt charts?

I have a table with start and end dates for useage of an asset and would
like to generate a sort of gantt chart for a date range. ie a horizontal
bar graph like Microsoft Project with the assests down the left-hand-side
and dates along the top.
Is this possible with SSRS? I feel like I have read about RS features that
would assist with this but can not now find an example.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
cheers,

I myself haven't done Gantt charts via SSRS: it seems to be a rare
topic. This company seems to have experience in this area:

I would suggest using a stacked bar chart to accomplish this.

fulltext statistics

Hi all,
Is it possible to get statistics of any sort from the full text engine?
My understanding is SQL Server treats the the fulltext engine as a remote
server and performs distributed queries against it via oledb. AFAIK, oledb
has optional interfaces to obtain stats (cardinality, distribution) which the
fulltext engine presumably supports since it comes up with reasonable
estimates in estimated query plans involving containstable.
So using an estimated plan is one way to get cardinality estimates for a
particular query, but I'm wondering if there's a more direct approach -- e.g.
I'd really like to be able to just get a histogram of terms. Perhaps it's
possible to connect directly to the full text engine via oledb? If so, what
would the connection string look like? or...?
Thanks for any ideas.
